Earth-Tone Rubber Flooring with Natural Cork Texture
Earth was developed to bring a more natural aesthetic to commercial rubber flooring through a sophisticated blend of warm neutrals, rich browns, deep charcoals, and authentic cork texture. The collection’s earth-tone palette offers a softer alternative to traditional black athletic flooring, helping create warmer, more welcoming fitness, wellness, hospitality, and multifamily environments.
Enhanced with cork granules for added visual depth and organic character, Earth pairs beautifully with wood, stone, concrete, and other natural interior finishes while delivering the durability, acoustic comfort, and low-maintenance performance required for high-traffic commercial spaces.

Due to the flexible nature of rubber flooring, tiles should be installed in a brick pattern rather than a corner-to-corner layout. Unlike rigid materials such as VCT, rubber may expand or contract slightly during acclimation and throughout its service life. Minor dimensional variation between tiles may become more visible across large installations, particularly at seams. A brick pattern installation helps minimize the appearance of these variations. Claims related to corner-to-corner installations will not be accepted.
Earth is manufactured from 100% EPDM rubber and may exhibit natural color variation between tiles or within individual tiles. Shading differences and slight dye lot variation are inherent characteristics of the material and are not considered defects. To achieve the most balanced visual appearance, Summit International Flooring recommends dry laying tiles prior to installation and blending material from multiple cartons. Tiles with greater variation may be positioned in areas that will be cut or concealed by furnishings. Samples are matched as closely as possible, though slight production variation may occur.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV radiation may result in fading or color change over time. To help preserve the appearance of the flooring, window coverings or other UV-reducing measures are recommended in areas with significant sun exposure.
Decorative EPDM rubber flooring features a textured surface that is best maintained using an extraction machine with rotating brushes. Routine vacuuming is recommended between deep cleanings, and most surface stains can be spot cleaned using Soft Scrub and a non-abrasive sponge.

Discover Our Innovative TWO-STEP Backing System for Customized Rubber Flooring
Achieve your desired flooring thickness while staying within your budget! With our cutting-edge backing system, you can choose any decorative rubber flooring and have it adhered to an SBR (recycled rubber) backing. For example, if you need an 8 mm thick floor, you can use a 4 mm layer of EPDM combined with a TWO-STEP backing of 4 mm recycled rubber. Through precise water jet cutting, we create pristine square edges, ensuring a flawless appearance. This offers a cost-effective alternative to an 8 mm homogeneous EPDM floor while also reducing adhesive and installation expenses. Our experienced SIF representatives are available to discuss various thickness options and help determine the ideal combination for your project. Contact us today to learn more about how our innovative process can transform your next project!
